Whenever I hear a cool phrase somewhere, I like to exclaim "That would make a cool band name". This page is a list of such names.

I can not verify whether these names have been taken yet or not. If your band happens to already use one of these names sorry. If you want to use a name you see here, you'll need to verify it's not already in use.

Entries Beginning with I, Page 2

Me and my friend were bored in English so we were staring at the books on the shelf. One of the books was called Immigrant Kids, and he thought it would be a cool name for a band, especially a band composed of white guys trying to rap.

penguin

Imminent Prospect

It means something good will happen soon.

phil

ImModium

i think its cool because u dont need phrases to come up with a band. U can just make up a cool name like(Aiden,Atticus,) well AT LEAST A Unique name. I cam up with it BEFORE THE ANTI-LAXATIVE WHICH IS SPELLED...........Imodium. But i use unique names

Jake Austin

The Immortal Millionaires

This sorta started one day when I was watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I started calling it "Who Wants to Be an Immortal Millionaire" because I thought it sounded cool. Immortal millionaires.

Imp Slapper

Ever wondered what it might sound like to slap an imp? thought so

beavis

Impact Proof

I was looking on the back of a trapper and it said "Impact Proof" on it. It kinda reminded me of music blaring on your speakers!

CyberSnake

Impala Scholars

Like many rappers, these guys know everything about the '64 Chevy Impala.

RevengeFromMars YouTube

Impaled At The Drugstore

While ranting about all the pretentious phrase-ish band names (like "Every Time I Die") in rock, I came up with this off the top of my head and really liked it. It's a perfect name for an Emo band. I can hear the tortured teenage angst already.

Nerrticus

Imperfect Stranger

Not too sure how i came up with it maybe from the perect stranger album ny deep purple. Im trying to come up with something different for my new band, and kinda like the play on words.

doug

The Imperial Entanglements

Something Obi-Wan says during the original Star Wars movie. Apparently it's best to avoid them.

RevengeFromMars YouTube

Impetuous Youth

From the Simpsons episode where Bart has karate lessons. Bart complains when Akira, the chinese instructor assigns the class a book to read instead of teaching them karate, and Akira's response is "Ahhh, the impetuousness of youth. First you must fill your head with knowledge, then you can break ice with it". Also inspiration for the name 'Ice Break Akira'

metaxus

Imported Air

I took it from a line in Blondie's song Maria. I just think it would make a great band name. The band members would dress stylishly and their music would be stylish as well.

Edward

Imported From Germany

Because it is.

Hannah

The Imposing Fathers

My best friend is in a band, and the front man's father is always poking around at their rehearsals, twirling knobs and adjusting microphones and generally being a nuisance. This was suggested to one of the members who was tiring of the band's current name, but was never used.

Jimmy's Dreamgirl

Impulse

I was flicking through the dictionary when I saw Impulse. It means to do something totally spontaneously, cool or what!

Jo Weaver

Impune

I got this off a coin. It's Latin for "to do something without consequence". Cool or what? [Ed.'s note: It's actually means 'unpunished'.]

Dan rocks!!

In Case of Emergency

I looked at a sign that said in case of emergency at a concert I went to and are band decided for that name

Keagan

In Case Of Fire

Just imagine all the possible endings, ICOF jump out a windiow or summit like that PS: There is actually a band called this!

Doug

In Close Relation

I came up with it when me and 2 of my cousins were tryin' to name our band. In Close relation shows the connection between the band members.

BLAZE

In Defiance

It says what where all about,,defying everyone who said that our instruments would never get us anything and that we should become doctors,,,We are In Defiance,, and our thrash/black/heavy metal says it all...

Tim

In Love With The Stars

Who says love should be limited to people?

Wolfsong

In Loving Memory

This was a cool band name. I didn't create it, but a group of friends did after my boyfriend died and and decided "In Loving Memory" they would dedicate their band name to him and no one seemed to have In Loving Memory which was the last name they chose as a joke but hey it worked and they broke up after a year but hey at least they did a couple shows before they did so!

Kate

In My Pants

I thought it was funny because when someone introduces your band, they say, "Now the band, In My Pants, will play." or something like that.

Holly

In One Piece

Well there's a crappy boyband called busted and this is the opposite of busted. Alternativel;, All In One Piece

Az

In The Sink

I just thought 'In The Sink' would make a great band name. Well, for our school we have a talent show every year, and our teachers came up with an act and a dance. They named their band 'In The Sink' and I thought that name could make a reasonable name.

jaylo

In-the-sink

I read in MAD magazine once that Justin Timberlake's grandma thought this was what "NSYNC" was.

GlamRockNinjaLord

Inability Not To Suck

I read on a message board a topic called What is wrong with Chris Rix? (former Florida State quarterback) The best response, by far, was Inability not to suck. It's cool because it's a double negative that says that the band does, in fact, suck.

Tom

Inanimate Anemones Anonymous

Actually my friends called their trivia team that. Not only is it hard to spell, but try saying it five times fast.

Persephone

Inbred Abberation

I read it on some website a while ago. An abberation could mean: "A disorder or abnormal alteration in one's mental state." Inbred would just mean that you were born with it.

Johnny

The Incandescent Llamas

The Spanish for "open flames" is "llamas incandscentes," which can also be translated as "Incandescent Llamas," if you're perverse. I saw it on the back of a can of cleaning spray.

Red Tim

Incas of Emergency

From a sign seen on engrish.com. It was supposed to say "In case of Emergency", but the translator got it wrong.

Sylvia Viridian

Incas of Emergency

I saw it on a Japanese fire map, and thought it would be kinda cool on the marquee, you know, Incas that only respond to major disasters and such.

Mazotti

The Incas Of Emergency

Saw it on engrish.com as a piece of badly spelled Japanese-English (In Case Of Emergency). Just really sounded cool.

Franklin Delano Romanowski

Incessant Peppermint

A wordplay on the song "incense And Peppermint" by Strawberry Alarm Clock, because the freshness of incessant peppermints would last forever.

Odie Garfield

Incestation

Just came from a random yet sick phrase mixed with anther idea for a name Infestation.........Incest......fun for the whole family

Sound_Sham

Incline Out Saturn

LOOOK AT IT

Jesse Anderson

Incognizant

It means "lacking knowledge or awareness; unaware."

johnny's girl

Incomplete Dominance

Well, it just plain sounds cool, but its literal meaning is when two alleles (visible traits from genes) have no dominance in each other, so when the 2 genes are put together, their features combine. For instance, when a red flower and a white flower have offspring, it will be pink. Sorry, that explaination was lame.

Dillon

Inconspicuous Flowers

It sounds enticing, and the chicks like it. I misheard a line from a play once, and that was what I thought I heard. The line was really, "prospective powers," from some guy called Edward Albee.

Moonvolt

The Incredible Five-Cent Sugar Rockets

It's a type of modle rocket, instructions here: http://ai.chem.ohiou.edu/~tip/specific/nickle.html Makes me think of a band like Neutral Milk Hotel.

alchemist

Inde

Inde is an old Apache word that means "The People" I learned that in school, and I thought, "Man that would be a cool name for a band 'Inde'" If I ever start a band, that's what I'm going to call it.

Mack the Knife

Indearing Ghandi

A play on "endearing" Indira Ghandi. Mispelled on purpose because the endearment happens from the inside.

Mahatma

Indecent Incident

We thought this name would look cool on a CD cover, since the words look so much alike, it would be hard to tell what it says at first. This also seems like a name that a very cool logo could be made up for.

Kate & Jim

Indecisive Awareness

It's just a random name that means "Deciding on Awareness" or DOA. It's not from a show or anything. So that's just too bad.

Samula

Indefinition

No one knows what it means. hehe.

Kadooshka

Indian Head

The name of a town in Maryland. I was looking at my dad's road map and saw it and was like "What the heck?" Lol.

Jake

Pot variety

Jack

Md

A mishearing of my best friend's explanation of the ending to a video game.

G

Indra's Fist

Me and Tirza came up with it.

Chazm

Industrial Deafness

There's this advert on the UK sports stations about Industrial Deafness and i always think it would make a good thrash metal band name.

crazyj

Industrial Park

Because It has that posion feeling. Well When I was coming home from LAX I saw a street called Industrial. And there was a park beside it. That's how we got it

Andrew

Industrial Stench

I thought this would be a cool name for a metal band. I went past a factory in a car.

Lizzard Lady

Industrial Yellow

Me and my friend have worked alot of construction jobs and while we were traveling around the US remodeling hotels with just me, him and our boss living and working in the hotels the only the thing that kept us from going crazy was our guitars. We would jam till we passed out and wake up work another 18 hours or so and all of the tools we and our boss had were yellow (industrial yellow) and after staring at that color all frickin day you start to see it every where and it would drive us up the wall so rather than fight it we decided that if we ever had a band that "Industrial Yellow" would be fitting.

Chad Perry

Indy Anna

You guessed it. Another all-girl country band, with the members residing in the great state of Indiana. I once wanted to name my daughter Indy Anna. Fortunately, I never had any children.

Indyhick

IndyGent

I think it would be a great idea for a indy rock band to be named after our Editor. [Ed. note: Thanks, I am so honored. But it has to be a band from Indianapolis. ;)]

phamilto

Inedible Shoelace

Well it sounds as it it is HARD, and cant be eaten, so if you think about music, we play it hard! Its all good, it works!

Kyle P.F.

Inertia

It's a good name for a band. It just sounds cool. Could be rock or pop.

Edward

Inevisting

This is a word that I came up with that is the combonation of Inevitable and Sting.

Alex Smith

Inevitable

Well i got this from a game, Tribes (PS2) ! It's a tight name huh? I feel famous.

ZeniK

Infant Mortality

Well, I'm into heavy metal and tried to think up a name for my band when I get one. Then I learned about this term in Geography class, so I thought it would be a good heavy metal band name.

Vampyre:pryde

Infected Affect

it just came to me one day and i thought it would make a cool band name

Jack Off

Infected Chicken Bites

I came up with this name when I got food poisoning from Allsup's Popcorn Chicken. Hope to hear someone use it.

Schmehr

Inferior Concrete

Ok, so, my friend and I were walking down the street one day and we saw a sign on someone's lawn next to their driveway which said "made with superior concrete", so we began to wonder if everything else was just made with inferior concrete. We then decided that Inferior Concrete would be the name of our new band, if we ever got around to forming it.

Lisa

Inferno

I was playing with a lighter one day, dropped it and set light to a bunch of leaves and bang-the idea hit me. (not literally)

Robz

Infierno

Is this a band name already? I dunno. as far as i know it means Hell in spanish

Nix

The Infiltrators

I don't know I just like it. It sounds kind of rebellious and cool at the same time. If this isn't the name of a band it should be.

Edward

Infinity

It's from a car brand, and it gives a little bang to it.

nathan

Inflate Jumbo Monkey

I saw it in a catologue once and the discription was Inflate jumbo monkey. My friends and i would just say it all the time 4 no reason wut so ever

Rebel Fire

Inflateable Dartboard

haha...coz its just funny...we were thinking of what things were impossible to have...coz u couldnt have a inflateable dart board coz it would burst!! *feels stupid*

KT

Information Overload

It's a cool band name for no other reason than I like it!

Edward

Ingenue Orchestra

We revamped our group and saw this name, which meant new woman with new beginnings or rebirth.

Renee Reynolds

Ingrown Toenail Epidemic

Of course, ingrown toenails aren't really contagious. But it does make for an infectious rock band.

oxy

Inhale Mary

It's a play on a commonly heard word grouping, with a bandesque twist

Cecil

Inhale the Love Gas

This was my band's name. We got it from those 60s spy movies/TV shows where there was always some wierd-colored gas being sprayed into someone's face and they would pass out....Why "Love" Gas...I'm not sure...

Steve

Inhaling Peaches

This came about, not too long ago, back in high school. A friend and I were listening to Smashing Pumpkins and for some reason i busted out with "Inhaling Peaches!"... ahh high school.. what was I thinking?

Adrenalinez

Inherent Losers

You know how some people are just born losers? They are inherently dweebs therefore the name Inherent losers

Pigertaws

I was in school when some kid was annoying me and i said "shut up or im gonna inject you with ink"

Dyno89

Injustice For All

Just thinking about freedoms we don't have but the government does have...

Bill Braman

Ink

A band of some real idiots went into the Federal Band Name Registration Office to register their name and the form said, "What is your band name? (Write in ink.) So they wrote in "Ink".

Whooler

Ink

OK, it was this really mean thing my whole grade did to this one girl in 6th grade. We told her there was a band called Ink to see if she would go along with it, and she did. It was really funny cuz all their songs were about pens. This went on for the whole year and she just kept on pretending like she knew what we were talking about, and claimed to see all their new music videos and everything.

It had nothing to do with Inkerman Street (next to Coronation St) and nothing to do with Rhinos - Great 80's Stoke Band

Terry Baker

Inkkinhuney

Maybe it isn't cool, but I found it interesting. Sounds like 'Ink and Honey', as an art major, 2 things I like! ;)

Jordi Kaie

Inkrejulus

It means like, not easily decieved, or you don't believe many things without proof. I was looking online and found this word, and thought, wow that would look cool spelled like this. (IN-Krej-oooh-lus)

AJ Steel

Inner anarchy

I came up with this name trying to come up with a name for my rock band but I decided to give it a different name so if anyone wants it it's there's

Alice

Inner City Express

We used it back in the mid-70's because we though ICE was pretty cool!!!

Vern Chandler

Inner Transition

I was trying to decide what to call my band, when I eventually create one, and I was reading the periodic table for inspiration. Somehow the inner transition metals just struck me as cool. Could be a sort of new age band maybe.

subject to change

Innocence Forgotten

This would be a cool band name for a girl group who isn't quite as angelic as they seem.

cassi

Innocent Bystander

i was sitting in my garage playing my guitar when some guy almost got hit by a car when he was walking. i thought that it may represent being a bystander and getting hit by something life-changing

Earle

The Innocent Criminals

That name, submitted by tbuck61391 is already used (and has been) by Ben Harper's band.

Oliver Clothesoff

The Innocent Criminals

Usually, criminals are not too innocent, so I came up with it as sort of an oxymoron.

tbuck61391

Innocent Kisses

I can only hope this one isnt taken yet. Its cool because the name can literally tell a story. I might use this one... oh well I dunno

AmyHuang

Innocent Monkeys

The cover of their debut album would show the three band members in "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" poses.

Princess Ana

Innocent Of the Knowledge

Who said shakespear was good for nothing!!! well, thats mosly trye, but thsi mcbeth quote gave our band this rather random name for our rather random group.........ska-funk-punk-grunge-rock....interesitng

Strudel

Innocent Tongues

I saw this in a poem by Wilfred Owen, who was a poet in WWI. I thought it was funny because there is so much bad mouthing in music these days.

My favorite Queen album and my favorite album overall. It is a very cool word.

Lash Ferguson

tempest

Inquisitive Investigators

Aren't all investigators inquisitive? THis is a great name for the ex- police investigators who want to start a band!

Pigertaws

Insane Cardigan Posse

Well, the story to this one is, I always come up with really strange things the second they pop in my head. Plus I have a friend who loves 60's-70's music, and he's a Juggalo, so I came up with the perfect band for him. A mixture of The Cardigans, and Insane Clown Posse.
